Nexus Prime

The Nexus Prime is rumored to be the next device in a series of pure Google phones. The name is unofficial. In fact, everything is unofficial except for the fact that we know a new Nexus device is coming around the holiday season, courtesy of Andy Rubin. This specific rumor says Samsung will be making the device, just like the Nexus S. It'll supposedly run Ice Cream Sandwich, have a 720p Super AMOLED "HD" display, and will have TI's OMAP4460 dual-core processor inside.

We told you guys the Nexus Prime + Ice Cream Sandwich announcement wouldn’t be far off.

Much has been made about processor inside phones. Many of you choose your phones based on that fact alone. I know there was a big scare for the Galaxy S II units in America – if it didn’t have Exynos, you didn’t want it. (We won’t even refer to the comments made about T-Mobile’s variant.) […]
